"Measure the size of my fourth sister. Help her make some clothes that fit. ”

"Making clothes?" Shopkeeper Yang was a little confused, after all, their store is all plain cloth, who will use plain cloth to make clothes to wear?

Looking at Shopkeeper Yang's doubts, Tan Qingqing understood and immediately explained.

"I'll pick a few pieces of cloth and go back and dye and weave them privately. When the dyeing and weaving is done, I will send it to you. ”

Shopkeeper Yang nodded in response, "Okay." ”

Tan Jiexing cooperated with the shopkeeper Yang to measure the size, and when the shopkeeper wrote her size and listed it in the shopkeeper's small book.

Tan Qingqing took Tan Jiexing to walk around Subu District.

In the plain cloth area, there are many different types of fabrics. There are linen cloth, there are plain juan, cotton, linen, ramie, kudzu, silk, and so on.

I can't count them anyway.

Looking at these materials, Tan Qingqing didn't know how much inventory he could have.

Anyway, Tan Qingqing knew that it must have cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to persuade those weavers to sell the fabrics to people other than Dong's cloth workshop.

Otherwise, how dare Weaver Niang disobey the Dong family in order to make more money?

"What kind of sub do you like, tell me. I'll bring it back and dye it for you. But let me tell you in advance, my dyeing skills are not very mature. If you want something nice and good-looking, I can't do it for you. ”

In this regard, Tan Jiexing said that Tan Qingqing was relieved that she was very generous.

"Hey, anyway, women, you can go to the rivers and lakes less, but you can't wear less clothes. As for me, I'll choose a few suits first, so you can try them first. Practice makes perfect! And I, as for me, don't dislike your craft. The garments you made for me...... Think of it as if you were doing the exercises in advance. You're not going to make clothes for me alone anyway. In order for you not to make a fool of yourself in the future, I will reluctantly sacrifice myself first. ”

Tan Jiexing said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

But Tan Qingqing just wanted to-

he，tui。

Obviously, I just want more free clothes, what kind of big-tailed wolf.

Bah.

Tan Qingqing looked at Tan Jiexing and took a lot of plain cloth, but didn't say anything. The two took Su Bu and returned to the small courtyard.

Got to the courtyard.

Tan Qingqing jumped onto her newly installed outdoor cradle and lay down. Lazily basking in the sun.

As for Tan Jiexing......

There are also two newly made swings on the side, and she can sit on them.

"Now you can tell me about the situation of the Dong family, right? What did you find? ”

"I've found a lot." Tan Jiexing knew that the fifth sister took her to make clothes just to get the latest news about the Dong family.

Since the fifth sister is willing to throw money, what to say, she, as the fourth sister, can't be too stingy.

"No, I've found everything here. See for yourself. ”

Tan Jiexing searched out a number of notes from the placket of his clothes.

The handwriting of these notes is different, some are ugly, some are beautiful, and some are even scribbled, no matter how you look at them, you can't read them clearly.

Tan Qingqing also spent a lot of effort to identify the words on it.

Tan Qingqing, "Gambling, loan sharking, hundreds of people." Unable to repay, the woman mortgaged it. ”

Tan Jiexing immediately replied, "What is written on this note means that many gamblers went to the gambling house and lost money, and the Dong gambling house lent them money on the spot. But after lending them money, these gamblers lose even more. In the end, he had to sell his wife and daughter to pay off his debts. Even the gambler himself was forced to sign a deed of sale and be sold to the mining farm. Until he was tired to death, he couldn't do without half a step from the mine. ”

This Dong family really won't give up if he doesn't squeeze people dry to death.

"There are dozens of women in Hongyi Courtyard, their father, their brother, and their younger brother, all in the mine. If a woman resists, her father and brother will be implicated. ”

This note is very clear.

It turned out that Yihongyuan relied on this to control those girls and force them to be honest and obedient. Otherwise, their relatives will either have their fingers chopped off or their limbs cut off.

The methods are extremely brutal.

And those who did not enter Yihong Courtyard either became the concubines of the nobles, or became the nobles' common rooms. These women who were forced to sell themselves inquired about the gossip of various families for the Dong family. Let the Dong family invisibly become a big person in Yuzhou City who has first-hand information.

Seeing this, Tan Qingqing understood why the Dong family had been rampant and domineering in Yuzhou City for so many years, but they had not been disposed of.

The forces involved are simply too wide.

Almost the entire nobles of Yuzhou City are within the control of the Dong family.

If you want to bring down the Dong family, you have to move your whole body.

"Mama Qiao, I remember what you said before that your aunt wanted to deal with Zhou Zhen and wanted to drive Zhou Zhen out of Yuzhou City, didn't she? So how is she going to do it? ”

Tan Qingqing handed all the notes in his hand to Mama Qiao, "Perhaps, this Tao Mansion has already been mixed with a few Dong family's eyeliners." I'm afraid, their secret pile has already learned of their aunt's thoughts, but they have laid out one step ahead. ”

Mama Qiao looked at the note in her hand, and her eyebrows became solemn.

"Before, they only knew that they would do anything. Only now do I know that their methods are also extremely ruthless and insidious. ”

"But girl, if they are so insidious, how did you get this information? If I were them, I would have done it first, and then I would have let you know. Instead of telling you the truth in advance. ”

Scold.

Tan Qingqing also felt that it was too easy for them to get the news. It's like someone sent it straight to me.

If ordinary people want to find out so much, they must first be familiar with the situation of the mine, the gambling house, and the Yihong Courtyard.

How could a few little beggars begging on the side of the road get into these three places?

Not to mention mines and gambling houses.

Let's just say this Yihong Courtyard.

A group of little hairy children, or a group of dirty little hairy children. Will the bustards in Yihong Courtyard let them in?

"There are two possibilities. First, there are people who are secretly helping each other. Second, it was Dong who deliberately revealed and gave me this dismount. ”

Tan Qingqing took out the fire fold from the placket and opened the bamboo tube cover.

Let the fire velvet that has not been completely extinguished in the fire fold rekindle because it has obtained oxygen.

She lit the notes with a fire fold, and when the fire was almost in her hands, she threw the notes and watched them burn to ashes under her feet.

"Mama Qiao, you go back and check the connection between the concubines and maids who have entered the Tao Mansion over the years and the Dong family. When checking, you don't have to deliberately hide it, the bigger the action, the better. ”

"What do you mean, girl, to startle the snake?"

"Those things like the deed of sale can't be handled. If you want to check, you can always find some clues. And the crux of the matter now is that I am afraid that Tao Mansion has been entrenched for too long, and has already established its own network. If we don't dig up all these networks, it's hard to know their true details. ”
